Comarcas of Asturias


Asturias, an autonomous community in Spain, is divided into eight comarcas. These comarcas are not an administrative division of the autonomous community, and are only used as a system to homogenize the statistical data collected by the Principality of Asturias.
The comarcas in Spain are a grouping of municipalities that are encouraged to work together to achieve objectives. The term Comarca is a Spanish word roughly equivalent to the English word county.
